title: [Prevalence of type 2 diabetes and factors associated in depression].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in patients with depression and to describe its associated factors.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted over a period of three months (from May to August 2012) in a hospital in Tlemcen, Algeria. The sample study had included 73 consecutive depressed patients who had attended the unit for assessment, education or treatment of depression or its complications. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. Blood sampling was performed in all patients to measure glycemic levels. Data analysis was performed using the spss version 10 software. P-value was considered significant when ≤ 0.05.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Means age was 53 ± 15 years. Sex-ratio female/male was 1.35. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 69.9% with 95% CI [57.9; 79.8]. Heredity and collective lifestyle were significantly associated with diabetes (P<0.0001). We have not found an association of diabetes with the factors studied: gender, presence of remaining associated diseases, smoking, and treatment regime.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the absence of national epidemiological data, the results of our study provide the frequency of type 2 diabetes during depression. This requires planning strategies for diagnosis and appropriate care for this population.
